Hyderabad sources have stated that a top official said all police stations in Telangana will have social media accounts in the New Year for communicating with people on a daily basis. Meanwhile Director General of Police M Mahender Reddy said "We are declaring 2018 as the year of technology and citizen-friendly initiatives for the Telangana police. That means, all police wings in Telangana will implement technology and citizen friendly initiatives in the coming year in a planned way and in a mission-mode".
According to the DGP, a mini command and control centre would be set up in each of the district police headquarters and commissionerate and the safety and security of women would continue to be a top priority and the 'SHE Teams' (for women safety) would be equipped with modern evidence gathering equipment.
Reddy said "Number of crimes reported is
not the barometer for the safety and security. It is about the control on the
organized crime and criminal gangs, those who impact on the public safety and
security".
